Hm, I may have to break out one of my lipliners and do that trick to see if it makes my lipgloss last longer.

I’m back from the dreaded (albeit nice) dentist. I got two fillings and a referral to the big evil dentist for the even more evil idea–a root canal. Apparently, something is going on in the nerve of one tooth (it has a “dark shadow”) and he doesn’t want to risk hitting the nerve repairing that filling. I have a big list of dental to dos now. Ugh.

I actually got kisses from Her Holiness, the Queen Zena when I came back. She usually never gives kisses if I’m coming from the dentist. She got a very long walk and now she’s sleeping on my mom’s feet. It’s rather cute. She even ate all of her doggy food today instead of leaving a few pieces behind. This, of course, only happened after the walk where she got pet by a cute little 14 month old baby girl. It was so cute! Zena was grinning ear-to-ear, as you might imagine. Apparently, she not only attracts adult human and the senior citizen human but the juvenile version as well.

Karen, you are so awesome! I seriously bow down to your superior beauty skeels…LOVE me my Nymphette, and I’m thinking I’m making a trip on Friday to the Estee Lauder to get me that lip pencil. Thank you for the tip!

I’ve had pretty good luck with EL lipsticks and glosses. The thing is, though, that they’re heavily scented. I kinda like the smell, but if you’re sensitive to scent it’s definitely something to think about.

Hey Karen!
Tawny looks beautiful,though I’ve never used a lip pencil. But I love pink-gold combo so this could be great.

I’ve always wondered about Nymphette because it would be a perfect colour for me, but I always get such a terrible allergic reaction on MAC lip glosses! Does this one have that cooling, tingly feel on the lips (that usually hurts me like hell) ? If it doesn’t, I might give it a try!

As for my day, I’m having a dreadful one- had a huge exam (last before going to my masters program) and had only 2 h of sleep. Yea, I’m a zombie today.

As I said before I totally love Nymphette, it’s one of my favorite pink colors. If you so trust in this Tawny I think i will give it a try and see the result by myself. Thx for the tip Karen

Thanks for the colour suggestion! I can’t remember the last time I headed over to the Estee Lauder counter (I have been too buys loitering about the MAC counter and Sephora) — but I am buying this lip pencil!! So pretty!

Arghhh! Pretty! Can. Not. Resist. Temptation! I may be going to visit family in Brasil in a couple of weeks, it may just be the perfect time to snag Nymphette.

Tawny has been around forever. Then they discontinued it and brought it back. It was my first lip liner ever…I still love it, but I’ve cut down on the number of liners I want to keep around, and stuck to Spice.

Ha ha, Karen. No, he didn’t knock me out. He numbed out my top tooth first before he checked the X-Ray and boy, getting Novocaine in the back of your tooth doesn’t pinch like a regular shot but stings like a really bad bee sting! I had to remind myself to breathe. The bottom two tiny shots didn’t hurt at all. Shots don’t bother me really, it’s the sound of the drills, particularly the fast-speed drill.

He kept asking me if I were okay because I felt myself doing a myriad of facial expressions. It’s not so much that it hurts but it’s uncomfortable to have the drill that close to my bottom lip, even numbed out. I’m so used to routine dental procedures from two rounds of braces and two years of dental reconstruction I just get bored in the seat. Really, really bored. I wish my dentist had a tv and DVD player so I could watch movies while being worked on. I had one at my first orthodontist and it was so cool. I was watching Star Wars whilst getting my first set of braces!

Karen — I am always eyeing something at the MAC counter. I have had my eye on that Photorealism quad — just haven’t bought it yet. There always seems to be lipsticks, lipglasses, and eyeshadows that I “need” from their permanent line, too. Your blog is encouraging me to branch out, though, which is a good thing So, looks like I’m adding the lipliner to my list, too.

My brother listens to music while he gets his teeth cleaned. As the radio is always on in the dentist, it would be too many noises for me to handle bringing in an iPod. I’d have to make it louder than the drill and the radio! I’m more the I’ve-got-move bored person so music doesn’t help the need to move something other than my mouth. I’m normally done in an hour or hour and a half so I’m okay usually. It’s when it’s two hours plus that I have to move!

Wraparound glasses that play movies. How bizarre. I wonder if they passed the Epilepsy tests. If they use LED screens, I’m out of luck.
